5 Interesting Facts About Chameleons!

  • Chameleons don't change colour to camouflage - they change colour to communicate mood, temperature and social signals. A chameleon turning bright colours is usually showing off or feeling stressed!
  • Each of a chameleon's eyes can move independently, giving it almost 360-degree vision - they can watch two completely different things at the same time.
  • Their tongues are extraordinary - they can be twice the length of their body and shoot out faster than the human eye can see, reaching prey in as little as 0.07 seconds.
  • Chameleons have zygodactyl feet - their toes are fused into opposing groups of two and three, like tongs, giving them a vice-like grip on branches.
  • Some chameleon species are tiny enough to stand on a matchstick - the Brookesia micra of Madagascar is one of the smallest reptiles in the world at just 29mm long.
